Just back from Hockenheim, we stayed in Mannheim & the train service is useless. One train an hour made up of 4 carriages on Saturday & Sunday mornings. We ended up taking a taxi both days for €50!

In reply to Geovane. I'm pretty sure you can actually get into the F1 Fanzone at the Hockenheimring without a race ticket. You need them for the grandstands, of course.

I have no race tickets but I’m thinking about going to Hockenheim surroundings, do you think there will be any place I could “feel the F1 atmosphere” during the race? Do you think I worths?

Going to F1 Hockenheimring from Frankfurt City center. Any Big Bus transportation for public available?

Hi Neil, I only know about the “Baden-Württemberg-Ticket” that is mentioned in the article. It may be as simple as visiting the ticket office when you arrive – even at the airport, as there is a train station there – and asking about the best options. I traveled from the Frankfurt airport to Hockenheim and back last year (just once) and had no problems. I think I paid around 25 EUR return, but I’m sure you can get it cheaper if you go for 2-3 days.

Hi, we are coming from Austrlia for our first German F1 and are staying in Frankfurt. I read about a “Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket” but not too sure if that is valid for all day/night Sat and Sun? Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap return train ticket from Frankfurt?
Many thanks Nell.

In reply to Richo. I think Mannheim is best as it has direct trains. Heidelberg is a prettier city, but you need to change trains in Mannheim so it takes a bit longer

Coming from Australia for my first German F1 race
So is Mannheim the best choice for accommodation / transport?
What other locations would you suggest for accommodation / transport options?
